Taco Chain 'Bans' Putin

Vladimir won't be "Putin" a hand on a Mighty Taco any time soon. The Buffalo-based Mexican fast-food chain announced it has banned Russian President Vladimir Putin from all of its 23 locations in western New York.

"You may be ordering around the Crimea, Mr. Putin but you won't be ordering a Super Mighty® around here anytime soon," the company, known for its ads tinged with satirical humor, announced in a Facebook post this week. "No one likes a bully."
